tridad Posted September 10, 2011 Report Posted September 10, 2011 So strange, mine does the same exact thing.... Just a quick word on this issue, I had a similar problem with mine, and I had to take the CB off, because it eventually stopped running. When I took it off, I noticed that one of the screws that holds the part under the rotor, had come lose, and I guess eventually, got jammed, but I was lucky that I found it on time, before any damage was done, and was able to replace the screw where it belonged. These things are put together so fast, that I don't think they care how tight the screws are, even the one on the movement. Hopefully this helps you guys, and it is not something else, but still, check and make sure that all screws are tight, before somethings breaks or gets lost. Great watch though!!
mm..mm Posted September 10, 2011 Report Posted September 10, 2011 Thanks Tridad, I opened the caseback to check but everything looks fine. Its really strange that the rotor blocks only when spinning in one direction. I will needless to say get the watch serviced to cover that.
RickHiC Posted September 10, 2011 Report Posted September 10, 2011 My apbands white strap arrived. It looks pretty darn nice I think. I wasn't sure if I could pull off white, but my wife says it looks "sporty." (I think that means good?) I'm trying to upload a photo but my phone is being a b*tch.

I am trying to decide between a white rubber or a white calf strap. Thanks a lot!!
Legend Posted September 12, 2011 Report Posted September 12, 2011 Very nice watch.. while at it, how about getting them to solve the classical A7750 sec@12 issue inherent with the rep AP with such movements? It would be a very very nice piece then lol
burnz Posted September 12, 2011 Report Posted September 12, 2011 Very nice watch.. while at it, how about getting them to solve the classical A7750 sec@12 issue inherent with the rep AP with such movements? It would be a very very nice piece then lol actually, i think the recent batches of sec@12 movements have somewhat improved, in terms of reliability. i've had 2 new APs in the past few months, and they have been running very well so far. would probably be a good idea to get them serviced still as a preventive measure, but i have to say the newer AP sec@12 models do seem to have a lower failure rate.

Its encouraging to hear that Burnz..I never had good luck with my rep APs but couldnt resist buying anyway for mods. I couldnt manage to get the gen. Survivor so I bought a rep. It failed on the 3rd day lol. Likewise for my rep. T3, Masato and Chronopassion! But i have been a sucker for limited edition AP ROOs, and so far, the only gen. I have is the T3. But that doesnt stop me buying nearly every other rep. AP that gets released! If only i had your luck lol
RickHiC Posted September 12, 2011 Report Posted September 12, 2011 Ok managed to get a pic off my phone. It's not very quality, but you get the idea.
tridad Posted September 12, 2011 Report Posted September 12, 2011 Ok managed to get a pic off my phone. It's not very quality, but you get the idea. Looks great IMO, did you also get a tang buckle for it, or did you keep it on the deployant? Please let me know, and is the quality of the strap worth the price? Thanks a lot!!

I don't think it's worth that price, but you don't have much choice. Probably still a lot cheaper than a gen rubber strap.
mm..mm Posted September 12, 2011 Report Posted September 12, 2011 Contacted AP gen goes for around 189 I was told
Yannou Posted September 28, 2011 Report Posted September 28, 2011 I finally got mine....on white rubber from AP Bands
Guest Sql_pl Posted September 29, 2011 Report Posted September 29, 2011 I have to honestly say I am not a fan of this color combo. But I am happy to see some of you finally getting their dream APs!
jeffw69 Posted October 2, 2011 Report Posted October 2, 2011 @ Yannou, was it difficult to attach the white strap? Did you get it from AP Bands? Thanks, Jeff
seriph Posted October 3, 2011 Report Posted October 3, 2011 (edited) The colour makes me think of Tiffanys - I love it but lemme tell ya .... my wife ain't gettin' anywhere near these pics! Forewarned is forearmed though .... how much is this baby? Edited October 3, 2011 by seriph
edgematic1 Posted October 3, 2011 Author Report Posted October 3, 2011 $518, available from Torobravo (TD at repgeek)
Yannou Posted October 4, 2011 Report Posted October 4, 2011 @ Yannou, was it difficult to attach the white strap? Did you get it from AP Bands? Thanks, Jeff Really easy and yes bought it from AP Bands with their buckle as I find really uncorfortable the rep deployant
edgematic1 Posted October 11, 2011 Author Report Posted October 11, 2011 with the gen strap... no high quality shots though
daytonaboy Posted October 12, 2011 Report Posted October 12, 2011 with the gen strap... no high quality shots though Glad you're enjoying, Edgematic. Round off the pushers and call it a day!
recktmedz Posted June 14, 2012 Report Posted June 14, 2012 sorry for bumping an old topic.. but im lookin for that watch.. is there any TDs selling that now?
seriph Posted June 14, 2012 Report Posted June 14, 2012 300 originals made - most presold at USD$30K. Some floated around in boutiques - believe all sold now. Replica - one lot made of 100 units. Sold out in November 2011 - price around USD$600 - come up from time to time on forums, for between USD$700 and USD$1000 - sell within hours. There are no plans to make any further units AFAIK
iori_del Posted June 15, 2012 Report Posted June 15, 2012 Was wondering if it is worth to top up 70USD to get the Gen White color band? Since AP band is selling at 139.
